"Have a happy Easter"

how do you say 'have a happy easter::

Haben Sie ein fröhliche Ostern??? is that anywhere near right

my german sucks I know

Frohe Ostern.

Ich wünsche Ihnen/dir eine* Frohe Ostern

(or simply Frohe Ostern)

* this could probably be einen, ein, einem...I don't really know, just mumble that bit and they won't notice. You may even have to stick something on the end of Frohe. Probably best to go with Frohe Ostern plain and simple

or just say "schöne Feiertage"

see that's the problem, its for a card

Frohe Ostern it is, thanks

no indefinite article required

Frohe Ostern wünsch' ich Ihnen.

Edit: ah well if it's for a card then just that, yep

sweet, I'll have to remember that construct

and there's me saying "fröhliche mein arsch" all day. Guess that's wrong then

schnell

Someone beat me to it.

Strangely enough, Ostern does not have a definite article. It is plural, like Weihnachten and Pfingsten (Whitsuntide) but is never referred to as "die Ostern". You can get away with wishing "Frohes Osterfest" but "Frohe Ostern" is definitely most common.
